Hey boo 😘

[b_ron]

245's in the front look awesome

[monjarassi]

hey bro need some help measuring the distance from the wheel well and the tip of the j's fender.

On one side will do, need to clarify what advantage i will get as for clearance to fit wider tire up front.

Alright dude I'll try to get it this weekend and dm you on Instagram. But they really don't give that much more clearance. I'm running dc5r lower control arms a 17x9 +35 offset wheel with 245/40 tires and I had to shave the inner tabs and trim the fender liners.

[Ubeyo]

oh sooo fancy (old asian lady voice)

[justanex1]

Those fenders look awesome, I bet you it took along time to get these. But either way it's looking better every time I see it!

Dude actually I decided I wanted them a month ago and as I was looking for a place to order them from new someone posted them up for sale already painted.

[justanex1]

You lucked out lol but good find! What next for the beast?

Ehh I got a few tricks up my sleeve. I'm pretty much at a standstill waiting for a boatload of stuff to come in. So I guess everyone will have to wait and see

[Powers]

Ubeymade gave me a jingle last night with good news. These bad boys just came in!

[justanex1]

Those look sweet! Why those over others? Just curious

I've just heard nothing but good things about them really. Everyone I spoke to that had a set only had positive feedback. Plus I like the fact that you can choose an assortment of spring rates and they're completely upgradable.

[monjarassi]

Must be nice. Envy u rite now

Thanks homie! It's amazing what proper wheel and tire specs do for the car! I'm pumped to see how your EJ is doing.

On another note my walker Japan front lip should be in by the end of the month! Need to get a hold of a Feel's grill next.

[tonyli]

You are such an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!

[Powers]

You are such an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!

Means a lot man, but I'm far from where I want it to be.

[Powers]

Well ordered new OEM tie rod ends and felt a little inspired by SHG_EASYE and ordered new hardware too 😁. Coilovers will be installed this weekend.

[monjarassi]

Nice

I don't know man. I'm thinking about saving that for the cherry on top at the end of the build and after I get a good amount of seat time on the track.

Coilovers are installed with new alignment specs.

Front:
-3.0 camber
1/32 toe in
+2.0 caster

Rear:
-1.75 camber
0 toe

[monjarassi]

Why so much camber up front. In only @-1.9 -1.8.

The difference is HUGE. Unless you have many hundreds of horsepower and can't use -3!!! :mbiggrin:

Looking great, dude. Yours, too, Monji. I've been working a lot, haven't had time for anything. Hope everyone is doing great.

Bingo. And thanks man. Plus I'm about to buy a helmet and start doing autox regularly. And hopefully in the future finally start tracking at streets of willow.

[Powers]

Picking up a package straight out of Japan tonight! Stay tuned.
